DORMA is a globally active supplier of door technology products and systems. The company is the world market leader in door controls, movable walls and automatic door systems. The Glass division focuses on the development and manufacture of furniture and fittings for glass doors & assemblies, shower enclosure & washroom systems and structural glass systems.

DORMA-Glas uses eZ publish as a platform for their ebusiness-strategy. It was used to implement an online shop for dealers and as an authentification system for the SOA-Platform implemented by silver.solutions. The Shop is connected to the SAP system of DORMA. This ensures that prices and conditions are directly handled by the main ERP-System. Dealers can request the actual status of orders and the system informs the Dealer when a product is shipped. The products are stored locally in eZ publish to reduce the traffic towards the SAP-System. An integrated module handles the import of about 6000 products from SAP using the BMECat format.

Ralf Döring, the project manager of the project: "The flexibility of eZ publish in combination with the Web-Connector helps us to build up our ebusiness strategies in a short time".

The central SOA-Platform uses an extended User-Management-System of eZ publish and is based on the Web-Connector for SAP.
